A joyful, deluxe oracle deck and guidebook set featuring an array of animals enjoying the company of LGBTQ+ individuals of all races, ethnicities, genders, and abilities, from the artists behind the queer and trans-owned modern stationery brand Ash + Chess and bestselling deck Queer Tarot.

An Inclusive, Affirming Deck: Queer Animal Oracle is a bright, bold interpretation of the animal world that offers inspiration, affirmation, and LGBTQ+ representation. Created by queer and trans artists Ashley Molesso and Chess Needham of Ash + Chess, this oracle showcases a wide range of gender expressions and sexual orientations and incorporates queer history and iconography throughout.

Deluxe Set: This set includes 60 full-colour illustrated oracle cards (3 X 5 inches), shrink wrapped in an interior travel case; a 160-page, full-colour illustrated book (4 3/4 X 6 inches); and a keepsake magnetic closure box with metallic foil accents.

Fully Illustrated Oracle Guidebook: The paperback guidebook provides an illustrated introduction to the inherently queer animal kingdom and LGBTQ+ informed descriptions of each card organised by the four elementsβ€”Water, Earth, Fire, and Airβ€”as well as instructions for sample readings.

Vibrant Full-Colour Art from Ash + Chess: Queer Tarot features Ash + Chess's signature colourful, risograph-style illustrations, including retro colour palettes and bold, detailed figures.

All Cards Based on Real, Diverse Models: The illustrations of people paired with the animals on the cards in this deck are based on real LGBTQ+ models commissioned for this project by Ash + Chess. The deck celebrates a full range of races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, sizes, and abilities.

A Perfect Gift: This joyful, inclusive, and beautiful deck set is an ideal gift for oracle novices, seasoned readers, queer folks of all ages, and their allies.
